Jan 1, 2001 · Some use Ephesians 4:7-10 to teach that Jesus went to hell or to Hades to release the prisoners held there and take them to heaven or into God’s presence. The idea is that before His death, all Old Testament believers were in Abraham’s bosom—the paradise part of Hades.

While people in the Old Testament were saved by the grace of God when they trusted in Him (saving faith), their sins were not yet washed away by the blood of Jesus. Their system of atoning for sins was through animal blood — a sacrificial system given to Moses after God delivered His people from Egypt. Lev 17:11For the life of the flesh is in the b...
We know that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life” and that “no man cometh unto the Father, but by [Jesus].” (John 14:6) Prior to Jesus’ atonement, the way to the Father was closed. Old Testament saints could not go to Heaven at death. But God provided a resting place until the Door to Heaven was opened. It is described in Luke 16when Jesus t...
Heaven is defined as the place where God dwells. Geographically we think of it as being “up above.” It is beyond the heaven that we see, where the birds and airplanes fly (the first heaven). God’s Heaven, His dwelling place, is even beyond the heaven where the sun, moon, and stars are hung (the second heaven). It is considered to be the highest of ...
Abraham’s Bosom was located below all three heavens and in the depths of the earth. Jesus referred to it as the “heart of the earth” in Matthew 12:40, and it was the abode of the righteous dead before Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. Jesus also referred to this place as “paradise” when He promised the thief on the cross that he would be with Him ...
Abraham’s Bosom was a place of comfort and a place of waiting. The sins of Old Testament saints were remitted by the Levitical system of atonement using the blood of animals. Since this was insufficient to atone for their sins, those who died in faith went to Abraham’s Bosom and waited until their sins would be paid for completely. They waited for ...
Since the time of Jesus’ ascension, Abraham’s Bosom remains empty. At death, the souls of Christians go directly to Heaven through the Door (Jesus). There now only remains the place of torment as an abode of the dead in the earth. We call this place “hell,” which is an English translation of the Greek word “hades’ and the Hebrew word “sheol.” “Sheo...
In Abraham’s Bosom (Luke 16:22), the Old Testament saints were comforted by Father Abraham. But now they are in the comfort and rest of God the Father in Heaven, and in the presence of their Messiah and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Heaven is the eternal resting place for all who die in faith, having had their sins forgiven and washed away by the...
At death, the souls of Old Testament saints awaited Jesus’ atonement in Abraham’s Bosom. When Jesus ascended to Heaven after his death, burial, and resurrection, He took all who were in Abraham’s Bosom with Him (Ephesians 4:8). At death, New Testament saints ( those who live in the age of the Christian Church– also known as the age of the indwellin...

Mar 25, 2022 · It’s here that Jesus poignantly declares His true identity, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). I believe this interlinking of “the angel of the LORD” in Genesis 22 is the event Jesus alludes to.
May 27, 2024 · The Book of Luke in the New Testament, presents the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, positioning Abraham in 'Abraham's Bosom', indicating his place in heaven (Luke 16:19-31). This placement implies that Abraham's soul was saved and he was destined for eternal life.
